Immediate Boarding (2003) 10

Sweden | 2003 | 89 min.

One day Julia and Martin accidentally meet at the Stockholm airport. They are indistinguishable; it's like looking into a mirror. Both are eleven and are sick of having to visit one of their divorced parents, so they decide to play an old well-known trick on their parents and swap places. Their new identities, of course, immediately plunge them into a series of comic situations. It also allows them to look a bit differently at their own real lives and problems.
